Actually...I was beginning to wonder the same thing when I saw someone
else's example.  I'm just using SSH to connect, so I'm obviously not in
X, but my TERM variable is "xterm".  I had problems with this a while
ago too.  What should this be set to in order to get colors in just a
shell?

Thanks,
--Brian

What's your env variable for TERM? 
Is it xterm-color? (assuming you're in X, not in console)
